Themes
The optional themes helped in both giving and narrowing down ideas when I was first considering joining the jam. Ultimately, I went with "All systems have broken" quite literally.
Tools
I used Godot for my game engine, Aseprite for art, and https://sfxr.me/ for sound effects. I'm still new to coding and sound design and the tools I used were very beginner friendly, though the sounds effects were very restrictive.
Lessons
I've learned and am still learning quite a lot since I've only barely gotten started on game dev. Any new experiences aid in my learning towards future games I want to make.

Cool concept, visuals, and sounds. Really enjoyed the game. But the pace builds up very quickly, because of which sometimes you lose before you realize what you need to do.
thanks for the comments and feedback! i definitely could've done a better difficulty progression / learning phase; i realized i balanced it when i was the only playtester and knew all my own minigames lol. i'll probably tweak the early game, like adding separate phases to learn each minigame before everything goes to chaos. thanks for playing!
Really cool game, took me a while to figure out what was going on but I still just sucked at it, too real for me.:p
Very neat art, and genuinely amazed to see a game about anatomy/bodily functions without the general colour of gore and blood, it's really amazing.
thank you thank you! :D the idea started as "spacecraft systems" but i moved towards body functions and kept the spacecraft/steampunk aesthetic
The concept is pretty good! Graphics and colours are awesome!
Somehow the game stopped after a bit.
thank you! yeah i'm still not too sure what's causing it, but thanks for playing!
a very cool and interesting game, bug is pretty annoying though
⚠️ there is currently a bug that causes the game to randomly crash after spending a cumulative 2+ minutes in the main game area (title screen and death screen are fine). the game runs fine for 11+ minutes in the godot game engine though. i'll try to figure out why this is and fix it. sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for playing!
I don't know if it's just me, but after a while, the game freezes completely (I've tried 4 times)
Very cool game! A little unforgiving but very engaging once you get the hang of it. Great art and nice minimal sound
thank you for the feedback! i'm glad you enjoyed :3
honestly i agree it's very unforgiving for someone who's seeing it for the first time; i'm realizing i set the difficulty after having played the minigames for like 2 weeks lol. i'll probably make a longer learning phase or make systems wait longer before game ending ^^b
I love the theme! Beautiful art and mechanics, also stressful (in a good way)!
Mid task, the game ended up glitching out and I had to restart. After that, I couldn't use controls; all I could do was read the How To book and continually die. A bug? Maybe it's just my side.
Great game overall though!!
thank you for the compliments! i'm glad you liked the art and mechanics :D
don't worry it's not just you lol, the game has glitched on my end too when i was playing it in the browser. currently i have no clue what's causing that :V but i'll look into some bugfixing
i really love the concept and your implementation :) very stressful (in a good way) and excellent sound design!!
thank you so much for playing and for the feedback! i was hoping to convey a sense of chaos and i'm glad you sensed it :3
